How my journey began

Hi I’m Cierra Livingston! I am a passionate mother of two beautiful children, Ryder and Everleigh, and a wife to my amazing husband Taylor. I was born and raised in a small town in Oviedo Florida, just outside the Orlando area. I am a Certified Pregnancy and Postpartum Health & Wellness Coach and have a passion for helping Mothers live healthier lifestyles, while also providing knowledge and education to feel confident and empowered in your birth! I was inspired to start my journey and become a Certified Birth/Postpartum Doula because of my own personal birth experience. I believe birth is a women’s natural right and something that she should be encouraged and empowered to do as she wishes, undisturbed, and without fear. You will remember your birth story forever, so it should be a memory you enjoy looking back on and sharing with others. My first pregnancy I had an unplanned cesarean after having my heart set on a natural birth. After multiple interventions and forced labor without fully being informed of my options as a mother, and with no advocate by my side to help give me a voice, I had to go under the knife and succumbed to the unnecessary interventions that were pushed on me. I knew deep down that my body was capable of giving birth the way it was designed to. I was determined from then on that my second time around I was going to have the birth of my dreams and labor MY way. After finding the best team and group of midwives to stand by me in support of my choice to have a VBAC, I prepared myself mentally and physically, as well as spiritually to have the best birth experience I could have ever imagined! I ended up being successful and having a beautiful birth experience at home, undisturbed, with my second baby. Being able to accomplish something like this after feeling so defeated from my first birth, was such a powerful feeling. I will always remember my experience and all the precious moments bringing my baby earth side with my own hands. It’s a feeling that can’t even be put into words. It made me feel so empowered afterwards, like a superwoman! My own experience showed me my true power as a mother and woman. The experience made me want to share my story with others and help them achieve a birth of their dreams as well. I want to show other mothers that they are capable of amazing things and that their bodies can birth naturally the way they desire in a peaceful, uninterrupted environment without fear. By supporting mothers in making the best informed decision for their baby and themselves, enables them to trust their bodies fully and allows them to surrender to the natural process of instinctually birthing their baby. My hope for all of you is that you will allow me to come alongside of you on your beautiful journey into motherhood and help you to feel empowered and confident in your abilities while you fall in love with your birth story.

What People Are Saying

Lauren

“
Cierra is a fantastic doula with personal experience as well as the expertise in body movement, exercise, and nutrition to ensure a strong and safe pregnancy. Cierra always answered texts and phone calls no matter what time of day or night. She made me feel supported. She also was able to guide me through relaxation techniques and ways to move my body to better support the pregnancy, especially in the third trimester. I was given nutrition guidance for before, during, and after pregnancy that made all the difference in how I felt and how healthy my baby is! I know I wouldn’t have been as successful as I was without the emotional and physical guidance she gave me. My favorite part of the process working with Cierra was her knowledge first hand. The fact that she had gone through her own home/water birth and could coach me every step of the way. I would definitely recommend her doula services to others!

“It made me feel so relieved that Cierra could be there for my labor and birth. She kept me motivated and informed me of the labor process each step of the way making me feel safe and taken care of.”
Kaella

“My birth experience was better than I expected! During my pregnancy with Cierra as my Doula, I gained feeling more confident that I can be in control of my birth. Having someone to call/text about all the questions you have during pregnancy was very comforting. My favorite part of the process was you being in the delivery room supporting me in delivering my baby since my doctor didn’t arrive on time! I would definitely recommend you to all the moms! It’s always a good idea to have as much support as possible through all the changes you experience during pregnancy. Not only are you helpful to the mom, but to the dad as well! I know my husband felt reassured having you help us! Thank you for having such passion in what you do, and for being so caring! I’m so thankful for you!” :)
Autumn

“I probably sound like a broken record, but I seriously couldnt have done this without you!! THANK YOU! I have better learned how to deal with pain and keep peace of mind, and advocate for myself and how to trust my body and my instincts. Also to take what doctors say with a grain of salt, they dont always have your best interest in mind. I have also learned postpartum exercises and breastfeeding tips. My favorite part of working with you was your attitude. You are always upbeat and positive and look on the bright side. If there is a challange you work hard to overcome it and make the best out of every situation. If I ask for advice you always know just what to say to reassure me and provide information. You provided so many resources and tools and I learned a lot about myself and birth and the entire birthing industry. You are also very accessable, and quick to respond to texts/calls/messages. I also like that we live in the same area and enjoy much of the same things in the Oviedo/Orlando area and were able to bond and connect over them.” :)
“Having Cierra as my doula was the best decision! She helped me throughout my entire pregnancy, and then having her at the hospital gave me so much comfort and support! She even comes to your house postpartum and helps with whatever you need. She is professional, knowledgeable, and super caring! I would highly reccomend her to anyone who is pregnant, especially first time moms!”
Erin

“It takes a special kind of person to do a job like this and Cierra is the perfect fit! This is such an important time in a woman’s life and support is critical! Cierra was there for me every step of the way! She provided me info when I needed it, was a listening ear if I needed to vent, supported me wholeheartedly in whatever I decided and was always checking in to make sure I was OK. She is passionate about her work and she exudes a safe and non-judgemental energy that is crucial considering the intimate nature of this relationship. I am so glad that I hired her and I am forever grateful for the role that she played in mine and my daughter’s story!”
Jackie

“If you are looking for a doula, Cierra Livingston is amazing! She is truly an advocate for you and baby. The most amazing thing about her is she does not push her views on you. She gives you information and lets you decide and whole heartedly supports you. I am so happy I had her their at the hospital and part of my birth! She was my support though my c section. I got off the table taking no pain meds, not a single pill. There is no way I could have done this on pure will power alone. She was my voice of reason and reminded me of my plan that I strived for. 10 out of 10 recommend her. My only regret is I didnt have her for my twins birth.”
